I wonder if the Hatch guy is working with Lady Gaga's PR staff?

This past weekend my wonderful little town of Asheville hosted a fantastic event known as Hatch. Hatch is a four day event that brings together creative professionals from a myriad of backgrounds including (but not limited to) fashion, architecture, film, game design and host of other fields. There are daily events that include workshops and seminars but there are also numerous free events such as gallery showings and exhibitions. The event itself does not necessarily include graphic design but can nevertheless be a good place for designers to see what is going on in other creative fields and at the very least, get some wonderful inspiration. Below is the Hatch website with more information.■

Crickets are chirping on this blog, but that’s o.k. for the moment. I am moving to Asheville, North Carolina and I couldn’t be more thrilled. :) I love western North Carolina and am so excited about the move! I am relieved to know I will soon be living in an area where I can express myself artistically and intellectually with an exponentially higher level of expression than I currently enjoy.

Asheville sits at the edge of the Appalachian mountains in North Carolina and is home to some of the most beautiful land east of the Mississippi River. Tourists flock to the Biltmore Estate year-round, but Asheville is so much more than that. There is no denying it is a tourist destination yet it doesn’t offer much in the way of airbrushed t-shirts and goofy tourist traps. If you search the area for a gaudy gift or sorry souvenir you will be hard-pressed to find one. The cuisine, arts, entertainment, and scenery all come together in beautiful fashion, a chorus blended from tastes and influences that span the globe. I will most likely be blogging very little during this transitional period but hope to share artwork, articles, and information from Asheville and beyond when I have the time. If you are still checking out my blog periodically I sincerely thank you. Just keep up the trend!■
